"Resolred. That we better that Improvements In the methods of both contractors and union could, be suggested, but as they are now before the publlo de not hesitate to sympathise with the employers of labor. Inasmuch as the arbitrary rulings of the business agents have mad impossible the arbl- tratlon proposed by the master builder looking to a settlement of the controversy. "Resolved, That consider the action of th leader of th unions does net voice the aim or end sought by th men composing them.

"Resolved. That It It our belief that th only hop for th preservation of the unions I for those belonging to them to emancipate themselves from th leadership of men who action offer Indisputable evidence that they hav not at hetrt the Individual welfare of those whom they aae supposed to represent. That every effort be nsed to resist any att nipt on th part ef th anion to Introduce contractors from outside, to the displacement of those having contract la hand, or to offer through the Individual com-posing said unions to complete any work now under th supervision of Chicago architect. "Resolved. That, while we would willing to Indorse any effort oa the part of the laboring masse tending to th betterment of their condition, we believe that the mean at present nsed by them through their leaders ars not calculated to bring about th result, and are subverel ve to the public good.

Its w111 cot hout $350.000. excellence makes it easier to examine la the view which I submit. This docs not relate to the purpose of the bill, which manifestly seeks to, embrace every clement of th welfare of th peopl of th island, but It relates to a certain lack of adaptation to present demanda la our national action la regard to education. all recognise education Is among the subject left by th actional constitution' to th state, and, although Cepgres. by the same constitution, haa most complete authority ever all matters la th terrttorlea, Including education, it has pursued toward education la them, as toward education, la the states, the same policy of non-lntcrfercnce, excepting la Alaska.

Schools, therefore, ta the terrttorlea hav beca good poor, according to local action. Congress, out of a deep sense of th Importance of the subject, has from th start aided eouoatlonal systems and Institutions by grsnts ef land an 1 money. Indeed, this policy was begun la the passage of the ordinance of beior tho adoption of th constitution. Later, having see a what th natioa could do la quickening agriculture without Interfering with It. aa oSie of Information; th bureau of education was established.

Favorite with Edaeators. The bureau, by carefully limiting Itself ti the gathering and publication of educations, information, ha become a favorite with educators, and by focusing all available eou-cattoaal experience In civilized countries it 1 acknowledged by expert to be th most Influential office of education ia the world and should be preserved In lt Integrity. Tout bill doe not make the mistake of committing all of the interest of the people of ta Island, either to on Cabinet officer, as eclonial secretary, or to a subordinate office: separate from the President, under the seer, tary of any department, Most fitly you give the people of the Islanc the lime advantage a the citizens of th' states have la approaching the President, eacl ccordiDg to ba Interest through any ooe all of the several secretaries and, if needful allowing each the benefit of the exercise authority by the President through each or ai of his Cabinet. Haa the Interest a foreigL' relation T. It reach ea the knowledge of the President through the Secretary of State anc" through him may receive any direction required from the PrrsidenL In like mannet any other great Interest with which the Cab ImH.

officer la charged may be known am treated. The advantage thus assured as Immense The only exception to this treatment named In the bill. 1s education; and thfe exceptloc doea not appear In th provisions for th subject on the Inland. Education, like poetal. ot any ether large division of service there, la provided with an officer In charge, clothed with like authority, salary the same, aoml-natedTby the President and confirmed by th Senate.

But the exception appear la th relation ot education to the knowledge and will of the natioa aa embodied In the President, or the President and his eecrt taries. or Cabinet. Each Reparts a Head. The chief of' each like service la Importance there reports to the head of a department, who la a member of the Cabinet, and wbo has most clone connection with the President's Information and th exercise of fc Is authority. On the other hand.

In the bill education reports to the chief of a bureau, who I at present a most able and efficient officer, who can either reach the President or receive from him the will of th nation only through the Secretary of the Interior, who, though he may be the ablest American, 1 loaded with a world of cares other than this. There Is no separate department of education with a 'secretary or Cabinet" officer charged with the sole duty of caring for that one subject, because up to the present time the nation baa required for education only a bureau of education the placing ot these new duties In' it would change its function and make It administrative without giving Us chief the advantage of a place In the Cabinet. Step by step, when experience has required. Congress has created a new department with' a Cabinet officer at its head. Th country Is alive to It new responsibilities.

All are ready to say education Is the oae word which more than any other signifies the blessing to "th millions in Hawaii. Puerto Rico, Cuba, and the Philippine, for which they are looking to our flag, however their relation to it may be defined. Th Local CemdltUda. Th local condition In each caae have naturally shaped their educational work under a single head: when army conditions do not "exist these officers will find no Cabinet officer whom they can directly address. Do not the present responsibilities of the government require a new department who chief shall be member ot the Cabinet? Can thea responsibilities be adequately met In any other way? Are not the new national duties toward education sufficiently numerous complicated, and responsible to require the undivided attention of a trained mind In the relation of a Cabinet officer? The present bureau of education would naturally retain Its functions In Its constl-utioDF-1 relation to education In the state and be transferred In Its Interrity and ef ncleccy to the new ministry as Congress may see fit under the constitution.

Thus what experience has found wise we should retain, and what wisdom requires should add to our national equipment or fitness for th subject to be accomplished. What other step could be taken by the natioa likely to Illustrate ia Its administrative results before mankind so effectively the benefl-cenc of th American government? I might allude to the importance of assigning any benefits ariaiag from public lands to education or th Importance of otherwise aiding" th schools, but I do not purpose to enter upoa detail. I may add that la Ilk manner It appear to th new demands of trade also require another department, whoa head shall be a member of the Cabinet, charged with -th car of manufacture and commerce. Very respectfully, your obedient servant. JOHN EATON.
